CA Gov't Code Section 8869.85

(a)

Each state agency shall apply to the committee for allocation of a portion of the state ceiling, supplying any information which the committee may require. The application may be for a specific project, or it may be for a designated dollar amount, to be utilized for projects or programs at the discretion of the state agency. No private activity bonds issued by any state agency shall be deemed to receive the benefit of any portion of the state ceiling unless the committee has allocated or permitted the transfer of a portion of the state ceiling to the state agency. The allocation may be on any terms and conditions as the committee may determine.

(b)

Any local agency may apply to the committee for an allocation of a portion of the state ceiling, supplying any information which the committee may require. Applications from local agencies may only be for specific projects or programs. No private activity bond issued by a local agency shall be deemed to receive the benefit of any portion of the state ceiling unless the committee has allocated or permitted the transfer of a portion of the state ceiling to the local agency. The allocation may be upon any terms and conditions as the committee may determine.

(c)

Any allocation made pursuant to this section shall be irrevocable upon issuance of bonds pursuant thereto at least to the extent of the amount of the bonds so issued. No allocation shall permit the state agency or local agency which receives it to use all or any portion of the allocation for a carryforward pursuant to Section 146(f) or Section 142(k)(5)(B)(ii) of the Internal Revenue Code, unless the committee expressly allows use of the allocation for a carryforward.

(d)

No allocation made to a state agency or a local agency pursuant to this section may be transferred by the initial recipient thereof to any other state agency or local agency unless the committee expressly permits the transfer. With the committee’s permission, any state or local agency may, by resolution, transfer to any other local agency or to any state agency or back to the committee all or any portion of the agency’s private activity bond limit. Any such transfer shall be made in writing and may be general or limited and subject to any terms and conditions as may be set forth in the resolution or under the committee’s permission, as long as the transfer is irrevocable upon issuance of bonds pursuant to the transfer, at least to the extent of the amount of the bonds so issued. Each transferee shall maintain a written record of the transfer in its records for at least the term of all private activity bonds issued pursuant to the transfer. No transfer may be made pursuant to this section in return for any payment of cash, property, or other marketable thing of value.
